Show Summary

Premiered: Mar 26, 1997
Status: Ended

T.J. Henderson (Tahj Mowry) is a high school sophmore. He isn't just a regular one though. He is a ten-year old tenth grader! After being promoted to high school, T.J. deals with the usual problems of fitting in as a genius, while being a little kid in a big school. He can figure anything out, and homeworks a sinch. Well, one thing he can't figure out is what's wrong with his brother? Marcus (Jason Weaver) is in the same grade as T.J., which only embarrasses him. Especially since T.J. always rubs in his genius factor. Marcus also deals with problems, such as finding a steady date, and doing homework ... make that getting T.J. to do his homework. There's also Marcus' goofy friend Mo. Mo (Omar Gooding, "Hangin' With Mr. Cooper", "Zoe") always seems to be annoying T.J.'s dad Floyd (John Marshall Jones, "John Doe"), with his goofy, and pointless ideas. Floyd himself deals with troubles. He owns his own business, always putting in hard work in at work, as well as at home! After his wife died, Floyd was left to raise all three of his kids on his own. So with work, and homelife, where's the time for dating? Luckily for him, there is his daughter Yvette (Essence Atkins, "Half and Half"). She always keeps the rest of the family grounded, while also being a fighter for equal rights. Runner of the school paper, and top notch student, she does it all. In the life of a smart guy like T.J., there are many ups and downs, but as a close-nit family, they are always there for each other.''''Theme Song Lyrics for Season 1-2''A slice of life is T.J.

This show is wonderful! I wish that the show never ended. It was a trendsetter and non stop comedy! I don't recall one episode that I watched which wasn't funny. The cast is great they all fit their characters well. The show is set up like a regular family with a gifted child and is very beleivable. If there was a way for the show to come back on I would be siked. I am watching the marathon right now and it's hilarious! IF you haven't watched the show you have and are missing a real treat! Smart guy rocks!moreless

Smart Guy, - Smart Guy was about a 10 year old kid who skipped a couple of grades and is in highschool. The show dealt with the problems a 10 year and other teens have to go through in high school. The show was around the 10 year old named T.J.. And his brother and sister and father. As the smart one his brother named Marcus tries to out do his brother. And his friend Mo usually being the person who brings him done. Overall the show was funny and one of the best, it's a shame the show ended it was funny.moreless

"Good"

By hawksie, Jul 07, 2008 Report Abuse

This may be the biggest under-appreciated Sitcom to ever grace the television screen. I never met anyone who didn't love this show but for some reason it never made it. Tagh Mowry is charming as T.J.and his whole family was played very well. However the gem of the show is Omar Gooding (Cuba's little brother) who is absoluley hilarious as Mo. The show also had a funny supporting cast including the white guy Mackie and the crazy gym teacher, Coach Gerber. This show combined off the wall humor, compassion, and important lessons and is the most under-appreciated television show of all time.

Some of the great one's are...

-When T.J. must tutor a dumb and violent basketball star and turns him into a Gandhi worshiper -When T.J. meets a young girl Brandy and Mo and Marcus pimp him out -When T.J. and MO must marry for a class assinemnt and the guys build Yvette a bathroommoreless

On number 10 of my favorite shows, smart guy will always be remembered as one of the funniest shows ever to me.

"Superb"

By Explode50, Apr 11, 2008 Report Abuse

This show's comedic appeal can stand with family guy, the simpsons, and the chappelle show. It is the only show that I would rate each episode 9 or above.

Every character is funny in there own way and It seems like shows like black comedies always make most of the white people dumb. That's racist too, you know. I also noticed that TJ's dad always puts Moe down. Come on, he doesn't eat out of your fridge that much, does he.......whatever. Well I'm going to go play some super smash bros brawl.

Storylines: So good that I wish they made over a 100 episodes-10
Characters: GO PENQUINS-10
Theme song: I have no idea what there saying in season 2-9.5moreless

Hey people I have been experiencing many difficulties with glitches on tv.com which include my sentences being squashed together so I will be using a - dash to seperate my paragraphs.
I just absolutely loved this show.- A ten year old boy is enrolled in high school because of his very high IQ and intelligence but he has a serious problem in fitting in especially that he is in every class of his girl loving brother Marcus and his stupid yet funny friend Mo and it won't be long until T.J also joins his brother's band and his basket ball team.- The T.J chronicles which is what I call smart guy is one of these disney show that got cancelled or ended when they were actually great and fun to watch like so weird.

I loved this when I was a kid and I still love it now.moreless
